Re: Fail to store repository on NFS

Hi Keith:

   Thanks for you quick reply.
   I can touch file at repository/dav with the user on NFS, so the
privilege should be OK. The situation is I can checkout from sever but
can't commit to server. There are two files which be created under
repository/dav folder but they are empty file.

   What is the dbm file? Does FSFS file system also need the database
to store activities?
